Lela Evans, newly elected MHA for Torngat Mountains District met with Minister of Transportation Steve Crocker and here is what she had to say on her Facebook timeline;
“I just had a good meeting with Minister of Transportation Crocker on the road wash out and on passengers waiting to travel on the coastal boat.
The work has started on the road wash out and stranded people will be assisted by helicopter.
The Freight from the tractor trailers is going to be handled between Cartwright’s port and Goose Bay, so freight will not be interrupted.
Regarding our people waiting to travel on the boat, I am happy to say that they are working on arranging the ‘boat plane’.
So that will be announced shortly. I am so pleased at the cooperation being extended.”
OK Radio will have more information once it becomes available.
